Just since it's sponsored, Airstream is one of the shittiest luxury products I can think of and owning one of the bigger mistakes I've ever made. The quality is the same as any other RV, so you are paying a huge premium for the aluminum shell which looks cool but not nearly as trouble free as the marketing leads one to expect. You can basically own 3-4 trailers from any other manufacturer for the same cost, and would be ahead in every way. You can also rent RVs including other people's airstreams these days so unless you plan on spending a significant amount of time using an RV (like full time or as a guest house) it's smarter to let someone else deal with maintenance and depreciation.

Thanks for this insight, they do look cool, so i can see making a emotional purchase rather than logical one.
